Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At their age, it was normal for them to feel weak.
As long as his body became heavier, she would die.
It was also because Yu Youyao had given her a mental suppression pill that she had survived this ordeal.
Imperial Physician Shi also said, “Old Madam’s body is weak to begin with, and she’s overworked. She’s also forcing herself to stay awake. Once her mind collapses, she also collapses. Fortunately, she took the Mental Suppression Pill in advance. The medicine calmed her mind and lifted her spirits. Even if there’s still a trace of vitality, the first aid will be useful. It’s also Eldest Miss Yu’s fault that Old Madam was able to escape this danger.”
The family was even more grateful to Old Madam Yu and Yu Youyao.
Old Madam had just rested for a night and was feeling a little better, so she insisted on personally visiting the Yu Residence to thank her.
She couldn’t thank them too late. She had to be sincere today.
Not only that, but Old Madam had also prepared more than ten gift lists inside and out. She had also prepared a large carriage full of gifts for Yu Youyao and Old Madam Yu.
How could this carriage of items be exchanged for two lives?!
Old Madam wished there was another carriage!
Old Madam Yu glared at Old Madam Song. “You’re already so old, but you’re still so neglectful.You don’t even care about your health. Don’t you think about how worried the younger generation in the family will be? Also, Mingzhao has just recovered. You should take care of him at home. Why are you talking about etiquette? We can just see each other another day.”
Old Madam Song’s expression looked a little stronger than yesterday, but on closer look, she was still in low spirits. She had exhausted her mind and forced herself to stay awake. How worrying!
Old Madam Song glared at her. “I know my own health very well. Although my body can’t take it after this trip, I feel relieved. I can only recuperate in peace when I return home.”
When Old Madam Yu heard this, she knew that she knew her limits, so she did not say anything else. “In that case, our family will accept this gift, but there’s no need to thank me.”
These words choked Old Madam Song and the Marquis’s wife’s grateful words.
Old Madam Song looked helpless. “You, your temper is the same as when you were young.”
Old Madam Yu waved her hand.
However, the Marquis’s wife smiled and said, “Matriarch, you’re an elder. You’ve also taken care of Mingzhao since he was young. He’s considered half your grandson. There’s naturally no need to thank you.”
These words were spoken casually, but there was no distance between them. On the contrary, because of these words, Song Mingzhao seemed to have really become half a grandson of Old Madam Yu, and the relationship between the two families deepened.
Before Old Madam Yu could say anything, she heard the Madam of the
Zhenguo Marquis Residence change the topic. “However, the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill was made by Sister Yao. It was also Sister Yao who thought of a way to treat Mingzhao. As a mother, I have to thank Sister Yao.”
Anyone who wasn’t a fool could tell—
The Marquis of Zhenguo’s wife’s words implied that she owed Old Madam Yu a favor for using the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill to save Song Mingzhao.
She also acknowledged Yu Youyao’s life-saving favor.
She did not deny this favor just because of their relationship with the Song and Yu families.
Old Madam Song glanced at the Marquis’s wife and smiled. “I’ve already spoken to her.”
She also agreed with what the Marquis’s wife had just said.
Old Madam Yu revealed a rare smile. “Look at the two of you. It’s not a big deal. Although the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is rare, as long as we find the medicinal herbs, it’s not like we can’t do it. It’ll just take a little more effort.
How can it be more important than Mingzhao’s life? It’s fine to be grateful to
Yao Yao, but she’s just a junior. You have to know when to stop!”
Although that was the case, she was still very satisfied with the Zhenguo
Marquis Residence’s stance.
It was easy to repay a debt of money, but difficult to repay a favor.
Unless necessary, aristocratic families were usually unwilling to owe favors. Usually, the “favor” conflicted with the interests of the family and harmed the entire family.
Saving Song Mingzhao was a favor, but she was naturally happy to see that the
Zhenguo Marquis Residence could acknowledge this “favor.”
With this favor, her granddaughter would have an additional guarantee in the future.
Old Madam Song was a smart person. How could she not understand her thoughts? She also smiled. “The Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill is so effective. It’s not easy to make. Imperial Physician Shi also said that even the ones used by the nobles in the palace are not as good as yours.”
At this point, she looked at Yu Youyao gently before continuing.
“Incense medicine emphasizes spirituality. Even with the same combination, the effect will be different if made by someone else. It’s rare for someone like Yao Yao to have shocking talent in incense medicine. When she makes incense medicine, there’s spiritual healing. However, such incense medicine isn’t easy to make. It takes a lot of effort in the process, and it’s not easy to make too many. Otherwise, it’ll easily damage her mind. Our family is lucky to have met
Yao Yao.”
Imperial Physician Shi said that even Nanny Xu might not be able to make such a spiritual medicinal fragrance.
Mingzhao’s symptoms were too strange. After Imperial Physician Hu couldn’t save Mingzhao, he said that he wanted to return to the palace to be on duty and didn’t want to stay in the residence anymore.
After the other imperial physicians saw Mingzhao, they also said that they were helpless.
Imperial Physician Shi was old and retired, so he usually wouldn’t make a move easily. He was willing to come to the Zhenguo Marquis Residence because of the Old Marquis.
He was willing to stay and treat Mingzhao not because of the Zhenguo Marquis Residence.
It was because the Song and Yu families were aristocratic families. With the
Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill made by Yu Youyao, he was confident that he could treat Mingzhao.
Otherwise, it was impossible for Imperial Physician Shi to ruin his reputation for many years just for Mingzhao.
The key to Mingzhao’s survival was Yu Youyao.
However, Old Madam Yu did not know about this. When she heard this, she was also stunned. “It’s my fault for being ignorant. I actually didn’t know that there was such a big deal in the incense medicine world.”
However, she felt a little regretful. She shouldn’t have given away two pills right away. She wasn’t willing to let her granddaughter waste her energy making the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill again.
She couldn’t see any harm in hurting her mind for a while, but it would harm her lifespan.
Third Miss was always sickly, and her mind was exhausted.
Ling Huai’s body was weak, so his vitality was insufficient and it was difficult for him to recuperate. That was why his lifespan was damaged.
Seeing Old Madam Yu’s ignorant expression, Old Madam Song was both envious and jealous. “You don’t know how lucky you are.”
Look at the beads on her hand. The fragrance in the room and the tea in her mouth were all personally made by her granddaughter.
In the past, her health was even worse than hers. Now that she looked like this, it was impossible not to be envious..
